Listing Status Explained

On our site, you will see the following types of listing status:

Active: The property is still actively for sale and a contract has not been accepted yet.

Under Contract: The property is under contract with a buyer, but has not closed yet. If you see a property where the listing status reads "Under Contract", you may want to click on the "Save to Favorites" button on the listing page. When you save a favorite listing, you can get automated email updates if a property that's under contract goes back to active status. In other words, if the existing contract falls through, you have the option of getting an email update right away. Note: You need to first register on this site in order to get automated updates on properties that go back to active status.

Cumulative Days on Market Explained

Cumulative Days on Market is a representation of how long with the property has been actively marketed.

The main difference between Days on Market and Cumulative Days on Market is that Cumulative Days on
Market represents active marketing through not only of the property’s current listing, but through other,
recent listings of the property as well. Days on Market, on the other hand, only represents the time
the property has been marketed under its current listing.

Prior to the local Realtor Association using the term Cumulative Days of Market, Realtors and
homebuyers in the Charlotte region would sometimes focus solely on a property’s Days on Market.
The problem with Days on Market displays was that sellers could allow their property listing to
expire and then re-list, and their Days on Market would go back to zero. This could make a listing
that had been on the market for a long time appear to be a completely new listing.

Since the change in terminology, when a new listing is entered, the Cumulative Days on Market
only resets to zero if one of the following two actions occurs:

A) The previous listing closes (i.e., is sold).

B) The previous listing is off market (expired or withdrawn) for more than 90 days.

It should also be noted that Cumulative Days on Market typically do not accrue when a property
is not being actively marketed – i.e., when the seller is not accepting showings on their property.

Recent County Property Assessments

Each county tax assessor’s office periodically assesses properties for tax collection purposes. Counties assess
properties at different frequencies. For example, some counties may assess values every four years, while others
may assess properties every eight years. In addition, a given property’s assessed value can change at any time –
i.e., when a vacant lot is built upon or when an addition is made to an existing structure.

Also, because of the highly imperfect nature of the assessment process, assessed values are often a poor
indication of market values. In other words, if a property’s list price is under or over its assessed value,
this does not necessarily indicate whether or not the property represents a good value or not.

In addition, in some cases current assessment or past sales of a given home may represent vacant land,
which has since been built upon. In other situations, a given parcel of land may have been combined with
other parcels of land in a past sale.

Finally, because assessed values may change at any time, property buyers are encouraged to confirm
assessment values with their county tax assessor before purchasing a property. View Carolina Homes

Home Buyer Rebates - Charlotte, NC Area

Are you looking for an experienced real estate agent to assist you in your next home purchase? How would you like it if your Realtor could save you thousands of dollars when you buy your next home?

I offer rebates of up to 1.5% of a home's purchase price and can assist you in purchasing your next home. I can help with such tasks as:

Showing you homes that meet your buying criteria

Aiding you in determining market values for homes and neighborhoods that may interest you

Assisting you in formulating offers on homes

Negotiating on your behalf with listing agents and/or sellers

Helping you with inspections, appraisals and other closing-related tasks

In building relationships with my clients, I strive to work as a true client advocate rather than just as a salesperson. If we end up working together, I think you'll find that real estate agents can indeed be partners who look out for their clients' best interests.

1.5% Buyer Rebates

As you may know, buyers' agents are typically not paid by the buyer for helping them purchase a home. Instead they are paid a commission by the seller. When I work as a buyer's agent, I typically share 50% of this commission to my buyer-clients - a move which is unusual among real estate agents. So for example, if the commission is 3% on the home you buy through me, I can offer a 1.5% rebate to you at closing.

In order to qualify for the full rebate the home you buy should be priced at $300,000 or greater. If the property you purchase is priced at less than $300,000, then I can still offer a rebate, but it would be less than 1.5% of the purchase price, on a sliding scale. So for example, if you bought a house for $280,000 with a 3% commission, the expected rebate would be 1.4% of the purchase price. A $225,000 home would have a 1% expected rebate and so on. Below is a calculator to give you a better idea of what the expected rebate would be.
